# Custom post template?

 * I’m trying to develop a simple (easy to use) template for users to list products
   on their site.
 * I’m almost there, but need a bit of help with the last bit.
 * I’m using this in the functions.php to add some default content. It allows me
   to add and style anything I want to new posts. The only problem is that it adds
   the content to EVERY post.
 * Hoping someone can show me how to add my default content only to a specific category
   eg. products.
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'default_content', 'custom_editor_content' );
          function custom_editor_content( $content ) {
          $content = '
             <div class="content-col-main">
             This is your main page content
             </div>
             <div class="content-col-side">
             This is your sidebar content
             </div>
          ';
          return $content;
          }
       ```
   
 * I did try using custom post types before, but it’s important to me that the “
   products” behave like normal wp posts, so they are easily sorted and play nicely
   with widgets like recent posts etc etc.
 * Hope someone can help – Thanks
